MapInfo Pro

I have tested Kalu's very helpful site mapper and have only a small problem. The scalebar in the layout is missing from the output. I suspect it has something to do with the scalebar rather than the site mapper itself. Any suggestions?

Hi Bo,
Glad you have found the tool to be useful. 
I'm aware of this issue, and it has been raised by other users of Site Mapper too.  The issue is the tool uses MapInfo Pro's window clone function to replicate the Layout window.  When you clone a layout, the  scalebar does not get cloned.  I tried raising this as a bug quite some time ago (May 2017), but was told that it is "working as intended". 
I agree, it would be helpful if the Scalebar was cloned when you clone a layout.  Everything else gets cloned, except the Scalebar.  I would suggest lobbying MapInfo to fix this issue.

One option you can use is instead of using Layout Scalebar tool, you could add a scalebar to the map window (from Map ribbon).  This scalebar will be cloned when you clone the Layout window.  However, the scalebar must be floating over the map window - maybe this will be okay if you are happy to have it in the corner.

Thank you. Unfortunately as I guessed.  The best would be for MI to clone the scalebar. As an alternative, could you create the scalebar by code for each layout?
